About Lucknow

Lucknow is the capital city of Uttar Pradesh in India. Straddling the river Gomti, modern Lucknow is a bustling and fast growing metropolis with a population of almost 3 million (2011), second largest in North India after Delhi. The city rose in prominence during first war of independence in 1857. The upcoming METRO is a hallmark of cultural extravaganza, known all over the world “The city of Nawabs & many splendors”.

The mannerism is still prominent and a topic of great appreciation. Dress forms though have changed noticeably in the span of a century, yet the beauty and charisma of Chikan – the intricate and delicate hand embroidery, still rules the wardrobe.
